To optimize the reaction from Exp099 to make this Ugi product using Mettler Toledo's automated Minimapper. Forty eight reactions are run in parallel using four reactant (2.0M in methanol) in different solvents / concentration. This run was verified by Tom Osborne.
Procedure
Make up 2M methanol solutions (25mL each) of starting materials - Benzaldehyde (5.077mL ) Furfurylamine (4.418mL), Boc-glycine (8.759g) and tert-butyl isocyanide (5.655mL).
The following are added in this order in a reaction tube equipped with a filtration frit
1) The additional solvent (200uL methanol)
2) The benzaldehyde solution
3) The Furfurylamine solution
4) The Boc-Glycine solution
5) The tert-butyl isocycanide solution
Parameters to modify:
concentration - 0.07M, 0.2M and 0.4M
reagent excess - 1.0 and 1.2 equivalents
solvent (for 0.2 and 0.71 conc only): ethanol, acetonitrile, THF
This is 48 experiments total and they are listed in this spreadsheet
Averaging over the 6 tubes for a given solvent/concentration, methanol 0.4M, methanol 0.2M, ethanol/methanol 60/40 0.2M and acetonitrile/methanol 60/40 0.2M give the best yields, while the lower concentration 0.07M for all solvents and THF/methanol 60/40 0.2M give the lower yields.
Conclusion
The results of this experiment will have to be verified to confirm there reproducibility.
